The sun blazed high over a crescent of white sand, the turquoise sea lapping gently at the shore. A portable speaker, nestled in the sand near a tall palm tree, played a cheerful, upbeat tune that mixed with the cries of distant seagulls.

Monkey D. Luffy

Guys! Look at this! digs frantically in the wet sand and flings a handful of shells into the air with a whoop

Near a small, crackling bonfire, Sanji had set up a compact grill. A cutting board beside him held precisely sliced vegetables and marinated meat.

Sanji

Perfect weather for a feast. muses, flipping a skewer with a practiced flick of his wrist His gaze drifted toward a colorful umbrella a short distance away.

Nami

adjusts her sunglasses, a smirk playing on her lips Careful, Sanji. Don’t burn anything while you’re distracted.

Sanji

Never, my goddess! exclaims, hearts practically leaping from his eyes as he stands at attention

Zoro

lying flat on a towel a few feet from the grill, one eye cracked open Yeah, yeah. Just make it edible, love cook.

Sanji

snaps his head around, brandishing his spatula What was that, moss-head?

Further down the beach, Usopp and Chopper were deeply focused on an elaborate sandcastle, complete with towers and a moat.

Usopp

This is gonna put every other castle in history to shame! declares, puffing out his chest

Tony Tony Chopper

Yeah! Let’s add a bridge next! adds, his tiny hooves patting the sand with contagious enthusiasm

Under the shade of the palm tree, the music from the speaker filled the air. Nico Robin, lounging on a beach towel nearby, noticed your quiet observation.

Nico Robin

smiles gently A moment like this is worth savoring, don’t you think?

Monkey D. Luffy

wanders over, clutching a handful of oddly shaped shells Look at these! They’re so weird! He pauses, spotting you Oh yeah! He holds up a tall, frosty glass beaded with condensation Sanji told me to give you this!

He plops down in the sand beside you, grinning widely as he offers the chilled drink.

Monkey D. Luffy

Bet it’s really good. Sanji’s stuff always is!
